What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 is praised for its 120-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties, with reviewers noting its simplified design and vibrant blue dial. Owners highlight the smooth winding feel of the in-house Calibre 403 movement, which features twin barrels. However, some owners report minor time-setting issues, and the 50-meter water resistance is considered underwhelming by one reviewer, who also notes the deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 highly for its impressive power reserve and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The 5-day power reserve of the new in-house Calibre 403 movement is a key strength. Reviewers noted the comfortable H-link bracelet and vibrant dial color options.

Fortis Marinemaster M-40

Owners praise the Fortis Amber Orange for its gorgeous appearance and strong wrist presence, noting its crazy lume and 70-hour power reserve. The Doxa SUB 300T, described as having a superb, eccentric design with a highly legible dial and functional no-decompression bezel, uses an ETA 2824-2 movement. However, the SUB 300T's 42.5mm case wears large and its 14mm thickness is not ideal for dress shirts, though it boasts 1,200m water resistance. On balance, owners appreciate the Fortis Amber Orange for its striking aesthetics and impressive lume.
